UPDATE: Federal court in Philadelphia ruled on 1/12/15 in our favor: the “adult” business agreed to have all charges they brought against The King’s Men dismissed! Full story: pafamily.org/2015/01/victory-courageous-men-win-court-case
Randall Wenger – our Chief Counsel – along with Jeff Conrad and Emily Musser-Bell of Clymer, Musser & Conrad have been putting in tireless hours in preparation for a federal court case starting Monday (January 12); and your prayers for all involved would be appreciated.
The legal team is defending The King’s Men, a Christian men’s organization committed to helping men grow spiritually, and to fighting obscenity and pornography in our communities.

The King’s Men have been effective in having a prayerful, legal presence outside of “adult” bookstores and strip clubs in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Their efforts have significantly impacted the business of such clubs – even so far as one strip club in Bucks County going out of business and a family restaurant taking its place. We highlighted The King’s Men efforts in our article Loyal Servants to the King back in 2008.
The Independence Law Center’s efforts with The King’s Men and others have been so effective that a memo by a strip club owner to other owners warned them about us, saying:
“This organization will be the downfall of all adult clubs in Pennsylvania.”
That brings us to Monday’s court hearing. Because of this effectiveness, a sex-oriented business in Montgomery County has sued The King’s Men on a series of charges.
These charges are ridiculous and we’re confident in our case – but there are no guarantees. Please pray for the attorneys involved in the case, and for The King’s Men – that God would protect and guide them as they stand up for righteousness.
Everyone should have the right to stand up for their principles and be free to publicly declare those principles – just like the ways The King’s Men have shown. Thank you for keeping them men in your prayers.
“Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.” Phil. 4:8

Go Randy!
God bless you as you battle the forces of darkness and degradation.
Thank you! Thank you men, who value all females as God’s created humans who are deserving of respect and worth , not abuse and exploitation.
Finally , the REAL MEN are willing to stand up and be bold!
Right on, Carol. You said it all. Thank God for Christian men and women who stand for principles of righteousness, and who respect those who need help in standing against evil ways. Such places take advantage of weak men who don’t have the strength (guts) to resist such evils and thus get caught in a web of being forever tainted with it unless they accept Chris as their Savior. He can help as they depend on Him for Strength.
What a joy to hear of men standing up for what is decent and good! Thank God for His hand in leading them to do this and for giving them victory in this legal proceeding! Just think if EVERY community had men of principle & courage like The King’s Men. They are making a difference for GOOD!
God bless you. We need you today. I am was trying to move a book out of our high school that has inappropriate sex scenes and I was voted down by the school board! These are dangerous times for children and teens.
